Ohio liquor agency discounts poor-selling spirits
The Ohio Division of Liquor Control is cutting the price of under-performing spirits, including Bakon Vodka.
The US state, which stopped operating liquor stores in 1997, is the sole purchaser and distributor of spirits stronger than 21% volume (10% ABV) to around 500 businesses in the region.
But in a bid to make room for new brands and “due to the discontinuation of certain stocks”, the agency has announced a giant spirits sale, with discounts of up to 50%.
They include 750ml Belvedere Black Raspberry, which is discounted by 15%, and 1L Absolut Raspberry, which has a US$3.95 reduction.
The Ohio Division of Liquor Control claims that while some products may be popular in some areas of the US, others have difficulty selling in Ohio.
Bakon Vodka, the potato vodka infused with bacon, is currently on sale for US$20.80, a reduction of 20%, due to slow sales. The brand however is popular in several other areas of the states, including Las Vegas where the “Bacontini” was first devised at the Double Down Saloon.
The sale will continue only while stocks last, with some items only available for up to 60 days.
